"There's always one idiot." Alas, Pat Metheny had to deal with that idiot of a heckler at his Saturday concert in San Diego. It is unprecedented for hecklers to be anywhere near a jazz concert, let alone in the front row, as was the case here. https://t.co/bNMZUYgYp5

BREAKING: Indicted 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sets off alarms among legal scholars, demands that Florida Judge Eileen Cannon take “action” against Special Counsel Jack Smith in order to delay his trial to help his campaign.
It all started when Trump and his lawyers filed a motion telling Judge Eileen Cannon, “In its brief in the D.C. Case, the Special Counsel’s Office argues that a December jury selection and January 2, 2024 trial date before Judge Chutkan is appropriate, with full knowledge of the schedules of both President Trump and his attorneys between now and the end of that year, not the least of which includes preparing for the May 2024 trial before Your Honor.
President Trump opposes a January 2024 trial date in the D.C. Case for many of the same reasons articulated in President Trump’s July 10, 2023, brief to Your Honor in which we responded to the government’s revised scheduling order.
As the Special Counsel is aware, there are a multitude of complicated practical issues surrounding President Trump’s schedule, including a six-week trial beginning in October 2023 in New York in a matter brought by the New York Attorney General against President Trump and his companies, as well as an ongoing contested primary for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
This is in addition to preparation for a March 25, 2024, criminal trial brought against President Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. A Special Counsel committed to the fair administration of Justice should never have circumvented this Court’s orders under any circumstance, much less with full knowledge of the various issues presented with these multiple indictments against the leading Republican candidate for President of the United States.
Respectfully, the Special Counsel’s conduct necessitates appropriate action by Your Honor. In addition to blatantly ignoring this Court’s scheduled evidentiary hearing on December 11, 2023, the Special Counsel’s actions appear to be intentionally motivated to prevent President Trump from meaningfully preparing for either trial and to simultaneously prevent him from running a campaign for President of the United States.
We are separately seeking appropriate relief from Judge Chutkan, and we respectfully request Your Honor order the Special Counsel to explain its reasoning for arguing for a pretrial and trial schedule in the D.C. Case that conflicts directly with this Court’s current trial schedule.”
Simply laughable. Trump is furious that he has SO many criminal cases against him that he won’t have any time to campaign for president. Maybe Trump should have thought about that before going on a crime spree that has already earned him 91 criminal charges against him — and counting.
Clearly, Trump thinks that he’s still president, and can therefore demand special treatment from judges and courts. He forgets that he’s merely a private citizen now — and courts are under no obligation to accommodate a serial criminal who wants to run for public office.
Legal experts immediately set off alarms over Trump’s request, declaring that Trump has no right to interfere in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against him in D.C., which is an entirely separate case that Judge Cannon has no jurisdiction over.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you stand with Special Counsel Jack Smith against Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

For reasons unknown my publicist Terry asked me to write my own prewritten obituary. Fine
Cormac McCarthy - the world's most competent writer and whisky connoisseur - departed the earth on the same day a sentient wig possessed of an ancient evil was arraigned in Florida, a state governed by crocodiles
He leaves behind a body of work that echoes the gritty reality of life and a Twitter account that echoes his disdain for Terry and his nurse and his nurse's idiot boyfriend Ziggy and roller rinks and Gen Z and millennials and kombucha and the Mandalorian and
In life he was a man of few words. In death he is only slightly more reticent. His publicist Terry is already no doubt concocting posthumous tweets to keep the golden goose laying eggs. Terry is a venal man with no shame so we expect nothing more
A man more at home with scotch and leather recliners than the company of others, Cormac elevated the term reclusive author to new heights of respectability. All authors now fancy themselves reclusive but still they speak to humans and grant interviews and acknowledge the grocery clerk with more than a grunt and nod. But not Cormac McCarthy. His literary prowess was only matched by his ability to avoid public appearances. Whether dodging book signings or exposing the infernal internet as the confusing labyrinth it is, Cormac McCarthy enlightened the feeble minded masses like that greek god with the fire who got his liver eaten by a hawk. Prometheus or whatever. I dont care what his name was.
Cormac McCarthy is survived by his daughter who turned out to be a millennial despite his best efforts and his granddaughter, a TikTok video in human form.
His greatest disappointment was failing to survive his lawyer Gregory. No lawyer should outlive his client.
In lieu of flowers you must do three things:
1. Retweet this to increase its metrics something something who cares
2. Read Air Turbulence, a comedic stage play he wrote under the absurd pseudonym Daniel Watts, and send a DM if you want to produce it locally https://t.co/hpzaI7pMol
3. Give thanks that the First Amendment has strong protections for obvious parody of public figures
Did I just hear Don Lemon call Harry @ForecasterEnten an asshole on hot mike? This after Lemon asked him what was larger - a gazillion or a quadrillion? Harry says “my ego is like a gazillion, your ego is like a quadrillion.” which took DL a second or two to fully grasp. Love it.
